Men's Breakfast & Tour

Men of all ages are invited to join us for our Men's Breakfast & Tour. You will enjoy a hot buffet breakfast and hear an inspiring message from our special guest speaker, Clebe McClary. Guided Journey of Faith tours will follow the breakfast.

Patrick Cleburne "Clebe" McClary was raised on a large plantation in South Carolina. Shortly after he married in 1967, Clebe volunteered for duty in the Marine Corps and suffered devastating injuries, including the loss of his left arm and left eye. His valiant battle with the pain and disabilities that followed is nothing short of amazing. He spent over two years in military hospitals, undergoing over 30 major surgeries and countless hours of physical therapy. Since then, Clebe has used his powerful story of courage, determination and strength to motivate audiences.

Tickets are $20 per person and space is limited. All sales are final and no refunds are provided.

The Billy Graham Library invites local pastors for a special breakfast and tour on Friday, Oct. 6, at 8 a.m. Pastors will enjoy a complimentary hot buffet breakfast, a time of fellowship with other pastors and an encouraging devotion by Pastor Don Wilton. Dr. Wilton has served as senior pastor of First Baptist Church in Spartanburg, South Carolina, since 1993 and is an accredited author, speaker, and minister to many around the world-including Rev. Billy Graham himself. Following the devotion, guided Journey of Faith tours will be offered.

As part of Pastor Appreciation Month, we want to thank our local pastors for the time they've dedicated to ministry by offering this event to them for free. We hope all who attend are refreshed and inspired.

Advance reservations are required. Call 704-401-3263 for more information.

When Billy Graham answered God's call to evangelism, he had no idea what lay ahead-but he committed to honoring Christ every step of the way. In honor of the 70th anniversary of Billy Graham's first citywide campaign, the Library's "Answering the Call" special display tells the story of a global ministry's foundations, from how God assembled the original team of Billy Graham, Cliff Barrows, and George Beverly Shea.

Mark your calendar: it's the 10th annual Bikers with Boxes! Can you believe it's been 10 years? Whether it'll be your first time or your 10th, you definitely don't want to miss this one. Join us for a day of fellowship, music, food, giveaways and much, MUCH more-all to benefit Operation Christmas Child. Help us reach our biggest goal yet: 6,500 shoeboxes. Ride alone, with your club, or meet up with a group coming from your region.

Gates open at 9:30 a.m.Complimentary lunch is served from 11:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m.

Hear from someone who received an Operation Christmas Child shoebox as a child and learn just how much a simple shoebox can change a life. Awards will be given for the group/person who brings the most shoeboxes, who travels from the farthest location and the largest group who rides together.

While you're here, be sure to take the Journey of Faith tour and visit the Graham Family Homeplace.
